Cortical renal leiomyoma with extension to renal pelvis

Abdom Imaging. 1994 Jan-Feb;19(1):70-1. doi: 10.1007/BF02165868.

Abstract

We describe a case of renal leiomyoma in a 21-year-old woman who presented with flank pain and hematuria. Urographic and computed tomographic (CT) studies revealed a large right renal mass with polypoid outgrowth protruding into the renal pelvis. Cortical renal leiomyoma with this radiographic manifestation is extremely rare.
